I use a .300 Win Mag. It messes them up worse then that I think. But nobody else tags my deer. They drop on the spot.

Mag stands for magnum, not magnesium. But you knew that, right?

I'm well aware of that, I'm not the one who said magnesium haha. I took a deer with a 308 norma mag with a 150 grain bullet broadside and that put a pretty good hole in the deer. Hit it right behind the shoulder and it still made it 30 yards, but thats not uncommon for deer. Bleed like crazy and ran into 3 trees lol.
